The Tea Party is Colorblind

By Noel S. Williams

Despite repeated attempts in the media to portray the Tea Party as racist, their recruitment and polices actually benefit minorities.

Ironically, the MSM turns a color-blind eye towards President Obama, who may be the most racially divisive president in history.

Some Tea Party anger is racist -- that was the moronic accusation from jaded political analyst Cokey Roberts on MSNBC the other day. Of course, most large organizations will have some unsavory elements, including the Democrat Party, but the Tea Party really is color blind.

Cokey's mindset is endemic in the MSM and propagated by a narcissistic president whose temperament is tainted by racial hubris. President Obama tacitly encourages his media minions to accuse political dissenters of racism. So let's refute these diabolical claims because the Divider-in-Chief, who promised he'd be "post-racial" and transcend race, actually descends into sordid racial politics for political expediency.

Charges of racism are the last refuge of liberal elitist bigotry. But black Tea Party members dispute racist claims, and being on the inside, they'd know better than some pundits brainwashed in the echo chamber of liberal elitism.

Actually, Tea Party demographics are rather mainstream, and more accurately reflect our societal makeup than the failing Occupy Wall Street movement. Surprisingly, more blacks support the Tea Party than Occupy Wall Street.

Sometimes the Elitists, the "most educated" are the most ignorant.

 

Tea Party vs. OWS article? Wow, how original.

 

It's more original than having Democrat Senator's calling the T-Party anarchists especially when the Democrats supported #OWS that committed various and sundries criminal acts throughout the country. Name one T-Party rally or gathering where police were hurt, businesses destroyed, or participants murdered and raped.

 

1.) You're not proving your point (whatever your point is? Is it racism or violence? You're jumping around too much just trying to 'win')
2.) Why is my personal ability to name issues with Tea Party gatherings of which I have no interest of studying a be all end all of your argument? If you were concerned with a real comparison, you'd have done it yourself already.

 

I wish I had one of those neural wipers from "The Men in Black" so that I can forget that I read that drivel.

 

Obviously you didn't read the complete article. Peruse the following:
"Most of us have profound policy disagreements with President Obama. That doesn't make us racist any more than when we disparage Senator Harry Reid's tactics in the continuing resolution debacle.

There're a priori reasons to believe that Tea Partiers have, and would, overwhelmingly support black luminaries like Alan Keyes, Herman Cain, or Dr. Ben Carson for political office. Indeed, favored Tea Party presidential contenders for 2016 include the following "minorities": Cruz, Rubio, Gov. Jindal, and Dr. Ben Carson. Now tell me earnestly that the Tea Party is not color blind!

Beyond their makeup, Tea Party policies are actually more beneficial to minorities than President Obama's government-centric morass.

Consider the progress African-Americans have made over recent decades, and realize that Tea Party-type principles underpinned these developments. For example, protecting the voting rights of citizens; holding teachers accountable; sponsoring school choice; promoting regulatory and tax reform; disciplining the EPA; and encouraging innovation and free enterprise. All these Tea Party-endorsed positions will further these advances:

• In 1970, 1469 elected officials were black; that's now about 10,500.

• In 1964, 26% of Blacks aged 25 + completed 4 years of high school; now much more.

• In the 2012 election, African-Americans voted at a higher rate than whites.

• With buying power over $1 trillion annually, if African-Americans were a country, they'd rank 16th.

• African Americans are by far the richest and freest blacks in the world. In fact, calculations of the GNP of black America would make it one of the richest "nations" in the world. ​

Ironically, Obama's big government approach and burdensome regulations have actually created wider racial disparities, particularly in unemployment. He's imprisoned by the notion that equality is a higher value than freedom. To invoke the spirit of Alexis de Tocqueville: Tea Party principles espouse equality in liberty; Obama would rather the socialist model of equality in servitude."

African Americans? What about Jamaicans, Kenyans, etc.? Do they not count as black?
*yawn*

 

If they're American, what does it matter in where they come from? I know many African Americans that have their heritage from Belize, Guyana, Jamaica. Aruba, etc.. They're all Americans to me.

 

You just completely missed my point.

And yes, I know ignorance is not racism...but it's not much better.

 

Until you graduate and are able to comprehend what WE do, why don't you just focus on trying to see beyond your own ideological blinders?

Hmmm?

 

... sadly that appears to be unnecessary, as they've actually done the same to themselves.

If a flood of BLACK (or other minority) voters shows up at the polls for their candidates... please inform us all about that.

Thanks.

 

Maybe we can find one of these ("Neural Neutralizer".)

 

You started a thread based on something from the American Thinker. You should probably not accuse others of having "ideological blinders."

 

Isn't your MO to forget everything that happened yesterday? That would explain your politics. Just go to sleep and you won't remember history tomorrow.

 

I thought all Dems were issued one. How is it you all forget history then that you lived through?

 

You mean like how the right-wing seems to conveniently forget the events of 2001-2008 and most recently the election of 2010? Or the fact that the House isn't the only branch of the US government and while revenue bills originate in the House, they must still be approved by the Senate and signed by the President?

 

Doesn't seem like they have forgotten that at all.

 

Color blind? Yeah, right.
If you want proof the Tea Party is racist, it's been pretty well cronicled here;
http://www.sodahead.com/united-stat...og-332581/?link=ibaf&q=tea+party+racism+proof

Every white supremist group possible has thrown their hat in with the Tea Party. This isn't even an agument, the facts are overwheming, this thread is a typical ********* snow job.

EVIDENCE 1

The main evidence that the Tea Party has a racist agenda comes directly from its association with David Duke.


Who is David Duke:

David Ernest Duke (born July 1, 1950) is an
American white nationalist, former Grand Wizard of the Knights of the Ku
Klux Klan,former Louisiana State Representative, and a candidate in the
Democratic presidential primaries in 1988 and in the general election
for President in 1992 as a member of the Republican Party.

Duke
describes himself as a racial realist asserting that “all people have a
basic human right to preserve their own heritage”. He speaks in favor of
voluntary racial segregation and white separatism.

Duke has also
unsuccessfully run for the Louisiana State Senate, U.S. Senate, U.S.
House of Representatives, Governor of Louisiana, and twice for President
of the United States.- wiki

The following is a direct statement from David Dukes website showing his connection and his claim that he has THOUSANDS of Tea Party supporters:

Dr. David Duke, a former member of the House of Representatives in
Louisiana who served from 1989-1992, is shortly embarking on an
extended, year-long speaking tour across the United States to gauge
support for a possible entry in the next race for President of the
United States.

He is seriously considering entering the Republican
Party primaries for President of the United States.

Duke also was
elected as Chairman of the Republican Executive Committee in the
largest populated Republican district of Louisiana, St. Tammany Parish
from 1996 to 2000.

David Duke is launching a Duke for President
exploratory committee, and will soon start a year long tour across
America from his home base in Mandeville, LA. He plans to speak in every
state and gauge the political response to his possible entry into the
race for the Republican nomination.

Thousands of Tea Party
Activists and many others have urged him to run for President!

 

Hogwash. Prove it.

 

[video=youtube;yDeNBsD8iRc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDeNBsD8iRc[/video]

Good Enough?

 

Ah, I see, because David Duke supports the Tea Party, the Tea Party is racist. That means because racist blacks support the Democrat party the Democrat party is racist. See how that works?

 

Question....did you watch the video?

Though you have a point, the association not only exists, but seems to be welcomed.

 

Sure did, watched it before, doesn't change the fact that you think because Duke supports the Tea Party that the Tea Party is racist, just like the Democrat party is racist because racist blacks support it. I guess simple common logic eludes you on this issue.

 

Sure. I know a lot of older Right wing idiots, who believe they remember things and surely get it wrong. They must be using the wrong settings.

 

This was sickening to watch.
